I like to imagine Cock Sparer playing this.
Best Guess at the lyrics, absolute banger lads Walking down the Fulham road and what do I see? Hot Tory, Hot Tory Showing off the signet ring and looking at me Hot Tory, Hot Tory You ask me for some baccy and you ask me my name Hot Tory, Hot Tory You say you'd pay me later if I bought some cocaine Hot Tory, Hot Tory Your brother's in the household cavalry Your birthday's a two-page spread in Tatler magazine! [Chorus] Hot Tory, hey, Hot Tory Jodhpurs and a Barbour coat Hot Tory, hey, Hot Tory Your parents house has a moat You got a Cayman's trust and a painting of Thatcher But here's the inconvenient part Hot Tory, you could privatise my heart You ask me grouse shooting on your country estate Hot Tory, Hot Tory I've just met David Cameron and he's calling me mate Hot Tory, Hot Tory Is this just a fling or is it something more Hot Tory, Hot Tory Your grandad seems upset about the Boer War Hot Tory, Hot Tory When I hear that accent it's a sign Your mum's an alcoholic and your dad's got a diamond mine [Chorus] If her mum's name is Muffy and her Dogs name is Jane! If he's disgusted at the thought of ever taking a train! If she's a an Oxon or a Cantab or at least a Dunelm If his brother and his uncle are both knights of the realm! Politically I know we disagree But I can't deny this tailcoat looks good on me! [Chorus]
last verse, can't catch the Mum's name, but the other inaudible is: If she's an Oxon or a Cantab or at least a Dunelm
I’m half Dutch/half British (don’t ask me about how this affects my psyche) so the Clogheads bits always feel like they were made specifically for me. Thanks!
Well its no Rock n Roll Mcdonalds but it still shifts air
Come to SF! Pleaaaaaaase
This goes way too hard, awesome work lads. Gotta play some music when you’re in aus next
Put it on Spotify already

Doctor Retarded would've been honored to have this on his show. 😢💕
lets do a fund raiser so you can get that soviet drum machine
Off the lost clogheads/cocksparrer split
YEEEEAAAASSSSS
Nate listing the instruments like - Scomy Compu-Rhythm 5050L (1983) - Kansas Instruments Saturn V (1997) (pioneer in the field of modulative synthetis) - drum
CERTIFIED BANGER
As musician / nerd, I appreciate the gear listing.
Came to say the same. Can’t wait for the eventual Recording The Clogheads book for the full lore
Pure delight
The moat line winded me
release the stems for remixes
I'd be heavily tempted to mash intro bits together for a skit intro to a riley-esque techno tune sampling these stems (or some jungle for the people with actual taste)
Genuinely some of your best work thus far.
Glastonbury when?
Keep on honking!
Guitar wolf vibes hell yeah
certified banger
Clogheads stay winning.
oh hell yes
boys that is very catchy
Can't wait for the music video
So cursed! <3
